I am working on x86 Precise Puppy right now, and I kind of regret that I can't stick with just the one topic and have to jump to different things.

But, I hope to get back to the Mele soon. Hopefully, we will be able to get Precise Puppy running on the Mele, so my current work is going to be useful for the ARM port also._________________http://barryk.org/news/

I'm just glad I did not get a 100.00 paperweight (Mele so light it would make a poor paper weight) I found a '90s era VGA cable in my shed and its so heavy it causes the Mele to tip backward like its doing a wheelie.
If you could check the setting for 60Hz HDMI as the default verses the 50Hz. The next image may be more compatible to North American users.

The composite setting is interesting it look like it has the backdrop as a Chroma key.
Hope to figure out SATA drive and oddities with the script wrappers.

After fighting the part Chinese and part English Mele hodgepodge it was refreshing to see and have regular puppyLinux over the default software.
I'll be with family a lot this long weekend, so I'll post other evb's late Monday.

I'm taking requests for evb resolutions (PAL, NTSC, VGA, HDMI etc) people would like to try. Hope to find the ones most universal.

I'm thinking of writing a widget to setup changing resolution and higher res graphics, running NTSC or PAL via composite RCA jacks as the second X windows screen that way we would always have a fallback to confirm boot.
There are something odd with color disappearing in NTSC mode.
I had a TCC made for ARM based kindle hope it is compatible

I'm new in Puppy community and this is my first post. I've used PuppyLinux 2.x and loved it. I've recently started a robotics project and while looking for optional hardware I discovered ARM world. Anyways, I've bought several "paper weights" and loved Mele! Actually I'm watching a 1080p movie right now.

I was about to install ArchLinux on it but after spending a whole week on Puppy forum and Barry's blog I decided to use Puppy from now on. You people are great!

I ran many tests and can perform others if you people would like to know more about the device. I'll be glad if I can help.

The bare laptop hard drive jutting out of the top port looked ugly. But I could not find directions. Tried fingernails & thin blades but no luck opening that darn case.

Place case with the MELE name on top and readable (not upside down text) hold the bottom with right palm and top with left palm. Press down slightly between palms, move left palm (top side) away from body and right palm toward body. fit Hard-drive in label side up.

The Makefile for ambdec gets confused expects only x86 or x86_64 setup (line 23). Was able to 'HARDCODE' arm settings to get past that problem, but this calls other files and many many TYPE and scope errors, and a few void declares = SCARY TRICKY CODE!
